[changednametoprotecttheinnocen]

I have just asked my gp for a referal for my private insurance and was charged £20.50 for her signature..am I the only one who thinks this is disgusting!!! I thought it would be a good thing not to drain the NHS!!V cross..can you tell????

I know physios that do manipulations, I hadn't realised it was an osteopathy thing.

I just meant, physios train alongside gps and nurses at regular hospitals. I don't think osteopathy is quite so much part of the medical mainstream. (I know very little about osteopathy, so don't have strong views about it myself, either way.)

they can refer you to hospital for xrays, blood tests, scans etc. it's one of the most "regulated" of the complementary therapies.
